Counselling in Bournemouth

我是心理輔導員Margaret，我於香港城市大學社會科學系應用心理學碩士及輔導碩士課程畢業。我擅長處理各種個人情緒輔導，我曾處理個案包括抑鬱症，焦慮症，驚恐症，童年創傷，創傷後壓力症，個人成長，婚姻關係，親子及家庭關係等。我也擅長透過兒童遊戲治療為兒童改善行為及情緒問題。我會因應咨詢過程按個別需要運用不同治療療法來協助當事人，包括精神分析學，個人中心取向治療，尋解導向治療，正念練習等。

過去所受的創傷或當下的生活困難，有時候會令我們心情焦慮、迷茫或困惱，感到難以前行，也許你對自己的人生方向不甚確定，也許你拚命努力，卻收效甚微，也許你忙於應付生活中的大小事項，身心俱疲。誠實面對自己的難處，尋求外界幫助，並不是軟弱，而是相當勇敢、值得肯定的行為。心理諮詢提供一個安全、接納與支持性的空間，讓你面對和處理互相矛盾、令人困惑的感覺和經歷，這是邁向自我接納、自我理解、療癒和改變的重要一步。你投入得越多，從諮詢中得到的收獲就會越大。我深信每個人都具有療癒和成長的可能。對你來說，什麼是生命無可取代的意義和價值？找到意義感能夠讓你連結改變自己生命軌跡的內在動力。我們在諮詢室中共渡的時光，將會成為你療癒和成長過程中的穩固基石，讓你產生新的內在力量來處理生活中的困難，並激發你的生命潛能。

你是否有時會感到自己格格不入？感到迷失了自己，不知道自己是誰，並且對向它人展現自己感到害怕？慢慢地，你感到孤獨，並且認為演繹一個它人的形象或者是你“應該”成為的人更容易。但你內心卻有一個地方在因為無法成為自己而痛苦。如果你感到不想再繼續這麼下去，我想讓你知道我可通過心理咨詢來提供你一個安全信賴的空間，從而讓你根據自己的步調踏上療愈和探索自我的旅程。我是一名心理動力學派的心理咨詢師。我所學習的流派和我自身的經歷讓我意識到人們與自己的過去，文化，家庭等等有著緊密的聯繫，此外人們同時被它們所深深地影響和塑造。因此，通過在咨詢中建立一個安全信賴的關係，我們能夠看到你是如何無意識地被過去與現在的聯結所影響的。我們逐漸地對你的困擾有更深刻的理解，並且對你的自我和你與它人它物的聯結方式有全新的和更深的了解。

I am a registered clinical psychologist in the UK and Hong Kong, and a Certified Advance Schema Therapist and Supervisor from ISST. I have also been certified as a mindfulness trainer from Canada. I speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. I have extensive experience in treating complicated cases such as Trauma, Eating Disorders, PTSD, DID, Personality Disorders, OCD, and Mood Disorders. I am particularly experienced in treating people with pervasively negative life patterns, which applies to both individual and couple therapy.

As you have arrived at this page, I imagine you are looking for some help – either for yourself or someone you know? Sometimes it’s not easy to ask for help when we need it. Seeing a therapist can be a scary idea but I know that seeing one helped me through some difficult times. Counselling and psychotherapy offer a safe space for you to speak about your concerns and difficulties without being judged or criticised. Whatever your presenting issues, concerns or goals may be, I would like to reassure you that you will always be accepted and be treated as a unique individual.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a BACP registered Psychotherapist trained with Regent’s University London and Tavistock and Portman. I hold a PhD in Occupational Health Psychology at University of Nottingham, and a MSc. in Counselling at University of Edinburgh.

My name is Yingli Wang. I am a self-esteem counselling specialist and a mother-daughter relationship connoisseur. In my self-esteem counselling, I help women overcome low self-esteem and self-worth issues, and transform “Not-Good-Enough-Syndrome” into your innate strength and resilience. I also work with relationship and family issues, which are often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma and unconscious relational pattern. In additional to counselling, I am a certified Mother-Daughter Relationship Therapist & Coach. I help women free up from mother wound and associated mother-daughter pain, so these women can forget a new path.

Life can be challenging and difficult at times. Psychotherapy is a space you can gift yourself, a space to be held and to explore possibilities. I provide a safe, open, and gentle space for you to connect and explore. Healing and growth come from connecting with people who see us and understand us. Crisis and issues in life often point us towards areas in our lives that are calling for some attention, although sometimes it is hard to see when we are in it. They often invite us to take a closer look at our lives and to find ways to live more fully and freely. I will be there to walk beside you and support you along the way.

How are you feeling? Are you having a difficult time at the moment? ​I work with a diverse range of people dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression and low mood, stress and burnout, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, and low self-worth. As a mixed-race therapist who has lived in several countries, I have a particular interest in identity, belonging, feeling 'different', disconnection, cultural differences and migration issues.

I'm here to support you every step of the way! Life can be challenging, and there are moments when we all feel lost and unsure of where to begin. But don't worry, I understand what you're going through, and I'm right here by your side. Share your thoughts and concerns with me. Together, we can navigate through this difficult time and find a path forward. With over 10 years of experience in counselling and mental health services, I specialize in addressing traumatic experiences, and couples and family relationships, as well as providing support for individuals dealing with addiction, depression, and anxiety.

Taking the decision to have therapy can be difficult so you've already taken a huge first step. I am a fully accredited CBT therapist, EMDR therapist and behavioural couples therapist. I also have additional training in compassion focused therapy and long term health conditions with over 10 year experience in mental health in the NHS. I specialise in working with complex/childhood trauma, anxiety and low self-esteem.

I specialise in working with personality disorders EUPD, young people, exam stress, trauma, pstd, bereavement, sexual abuse, generalised anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, low-self esteem, depression, stress, existential crisis, self harm, life transitions, sex and relationships and familial conflicts. I adapt my practise to each individual's needs and can provide (DBT) Dialectical Behavioural Therapy aimed at helping with distress tolerance and interpersonal relationships. I will work with you to help gain a better understanding of the cause of these issues and find ways to move forward.

Having worked with many clients over the years, I have a good understanding of what human distress looks like. Often, we try to push the difficult feelings (both physical and emotional) aside and just ‘get on with it’. Sure enough, it works for a while, but then there comes a point when the usual coping strategies just stop working, and reaching out for help feels somehow wrong too; life feels stuck in vicious circles. If this sounds frustratingly familiar, then you are not alone. With my extensive experience, I can support you to reach your goals, or simply to figure out together first what the goals might be.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns of behaviour that lead to the same unhappy outcome time after time? Are you ever overwhelmed by negative thoughts, feelings or beliefs that stop you moving on in your life? Is the voice of your own inner critic sometimes so loud that you are stricken by panic or frozen with fear? Maybe you are alone or part of a couple and longing for intimacy that never comes? If any of these experiences ring true, I can give you the support you need to find the direction and meaning that has gone missing from your life.

Each one of us struggles in life at one point or another. When the difficulties in life feel too much to manage on our own, counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential and safe environment in which we can explore these difficulties and find the direction to lasting changes. Often our current difficulties have their roots in the past. Problems emerge when we stick to our old ways of coping. Counselling can help us make links to the past and find more adaptive ways of coping. It can help us to tune in to our emotions and thus understand what matters the most and what needs to be changed.

Experiencing difficult emotions in face of life challenges or crisis are often considered as “problems” that make us feel vulnerable, powerless or shameful. Although these "problems" are often natural human experiences, we sometimes struggle with the critical inner voice and have little compassion towards self. Psychotherapy is neither a quick fix of your psychological wounds nor a direct path to happiness. It's a process where you can start connecting with yourself and make sense of your own narrative in a safe and respectful space. The process of relating to a genuine human being itself could be the start of your healing journey.
